    Come on, admit it, the real reason you are upset is that Merkel has got bigger balls than Camoron! :o)

    A gnat has bigger balls than Camoron as well.

    Kanzerlerin Merkel represents a country from the 'west' Brasileiro.

    Make up your mind.

    Germany isn't in the BRICS, never will be and doesn't want to be. So stop sucking up now that your BRICS buddies have set you adrift to wallow in your own recession.

    However, I hope the German businessmen find lots of profitable ventures in Brazil.

    There's only ever been one competent “lady leader”. The Right Honourable The Lady Thatcher LG, OM, PC, FRS. Apart, possibly, from Queen Elizabeth I. Let us remember “My loving people, we have been persuaded by some that are careful of our safety, to take heed how we commit ourself to armed multitudes for fear of treachery; but I assure you, I do not desire to live to distrust my faithful and loving people ... I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a King of England too, and think foul scorn that Parma or Spain, or any Prince of Europe should dare to invade the borders of my realm”.

    There are certain argies that think “English” is some sort of insult. In fact, it is one of the greatest compliments that can be paid to the United Kingdom. Wales was annexed in in 1535-42. But then became treated the same way as England. Ireland saw sense and joined with England around 1803. Pity about the catholics. So the UK still includes the intelligent Irish. What can we say about Scotland? Incompetent, thick, cheating, thieves. The Darien scheme saw scotch incompetence. The aftermath, where the scotch, begged for English assistance, shows how thick they are. Three hundred-odd years later, the scotch try to cheat. How can the thieves “demand” 9% of what they haven't paid for?
    How good it would be to have Margaret Thatcher back again. Low-flying, fully-armed RAF aircraft. Royal Navy vessels offshore practising amphibious landings. Martial law. The actions of a true leader.

    Could such actions be compared to the desperate actions of dictators like Kirchner or Rousseff?

    When will the argentinean and brazilian people learn to fight to remove the power-hungry criminals like Kirchner and Rousseff?

    Eliminate the brain-washed like Brasiliero. And I do mean “eliminate”. Make a note of those argies we refer to as “trolls”. More targets for elimination.

    Perhaps, one day, argies will learn to be civilised.

    @2 brasshole
    “Welcome Chancellor Angela Merkel!”

    Try reading the article again....Angela Merkel is from GERMANY....a WESTERN power. Just proves you are an ignorant bastard paid by the PT...this time, as it favours your bitch , fat D, you write favourable commments.
    Brazzo, you are the biggest fucking liar to ever appear on MP - you claimed you were on the top of a building during last Sunday's protest againt the PT in SP, yet you are unable to say on top of which building....maybe it was on the top of the Santa Catarina Hospital, when you escaped from the Psychiatric ward and wanted to commit suicide....they should've let you.

    Germany should have let Greece go and just saved the German banks. This EU mess is going to haunt them for a long time.
    When the Euro sinks, and it will, Germany's ability to adjust their prices for export will be minimal and exports will tumble.
    What is Germany without exports?
    Yeah
